A sister told me it was the Aspartame. I stopped drinking the diet drinks and it went away. Now, if I drink more than one or two in a day, I find that it complicates my vertigo and I don't drink it. <br /><br />As for non-diet sodas, I'm trying to cut them out for a lot of reasons. Water should be the drink of choice and I'm working on getting back to it and tea. The funny thing about it is that I manage to give soda up for Lent every year and every year I say I'm not going to go back to it yet I do. <br /><br />Your friend's story is scary, GB. I'll have to pass it on to people I care about. <br /><br />cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-18908409480583768552009-08-05T07:48:39.055-07:002009-08-05T07:48:39.055-07:00As a former pilot, I was considered Multi-Fuel for...As a former pilot, I was considered Multi-Fuel for a long time. Some good advice got me to cut down on drinks with aspartame or any of the other chemical sweeteners. Rum goes better with coke,Gin goes better with tonic, etc. etc. However you take your beverage of choice, it has calories. Some way more than you would expect. So like GB, I watch what I consume, but won't quit just because. Wine? Good choice.<br />45 calories of Beer. No thank you.<br />Scotch and water works for me. Coffee with Splenda or Truvia works for me and a tall glass of ice cold water is always welcome.OlePrairiedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124426131774272180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-46913309885938500252009-08-05T06:16:30.720-07:002009-08-05T06:16:30.720-07:00I have heard of this very same tumor before in a w...I have heard of this very same tumor before in a woman.<br />I started reading up on the damage fake sugars can do to you and they have been linked to so many problems.<br />There is an article you might like to read and it also mentions pilots.<br />http://www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/symptoms.htm<br /><br />A few years ago I gave up Splenda and my pain eased up so much as well as other problems.the golden horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997072300287533624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-17278540467662380872009-08-05T02:53:28.114-07:002009-08-05T02:53:28.114-07:00I hate so-called "diet" sodas.

I also like unsweetened iced tea--the pure stuff--not the yukky fruit-flavored kind. It's rare that I drink anything other than water or tea.Cissy Applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737924113433735137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-14789241750729926602009-08-04T23:22:55.159-07:002009-08-04T23:22:55.159-07:00I no longer drink ANY soda, just water while drivi...I no longer drink ANY soda, just water while driving cab and maybe a lemonade now and again (different reason - the caffeine will irritate my acid reflux, and cutting it out has drastically reduced my need for ppi drugs) but when I used to drink sodas, I would occasionally drink a Fresca or some other non-mainlined soda; every time I drank one with aspartame in it I could swear there was a chemical aftertaste. Other drinkers of the same soda would tell me I was imagining things. Guess it's a good thing I never really took to the flavor of Fresca, eh?caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122159049927843800noreply@blogger.com
